AbiWord Weekly News #132, (2003, week 08, released 2003.02.23)
Welcome to this issue 132 of the AbiWord Weekly News.
Follow-ups:
I got all up on Johnny and 3269 (Win32:Crash on print) that I actually reported 3239 (Win32: Meta: Printing bugs) as being fixed. I stand by my w00t none the less. Also, I've been writing this AWN for three days...you know how it when you, ah screw it....
This week in development
A few notable bugs get squashed this week, which has nothing to do with Seth Delackner creating his own doc to rtf converter. If you don't have interest in that still young project, perhaps you'd like to update your cvs copy of HEAD for Martin's AbiWidget work, making AbiCommand functional once again and bonobo the primary GNOME target project ^_^ Frank commits acts of wrapper-cide while helping Reuben D. Budiardja with some plugin issues. And, mirror mirror, Alan Horkan helps out Alan Rowan for something that entertained your editor for a whole minute (and then some!). Oh, by the by, did you hear that Hub's considering a release of 1.0.5 with the closing off of crash on print issues for Windows users?
Silliness of the Week
George W. Bush, after being blockaded by France in his intended war on OPEC, I mean, Iraq, has made a new international statement, calling for aggressive action against a nation that has been acting on behalf of terrorists and almost placed a hate-monger in its highest office... France. Hub was not available for rib-poking at press time.

Discussions
Traffic on the developer mailing list has settled at about 200-400 postings per week. This week, interesting topics on the developer list included:
-
RE: [PATCH] Fix bugs 3550, 3845 (win mousewheel bugs) : Johnny Lee pulls another helpful assist in taking care of some Windows scroll wheel problems. On top of being thanked and having his commits added, Andrew add one piece of advice that those of you interested in helping us squash bugs, as Johnny is doing, should know: When you need to alter the indentation or other layout of code in order to find a bug, return it to its original state before creating the diff file, unless the code really needs those alterations, which then should be handled as a separate patch before the actual fix.
-
Isolating the file conversion code , Backporting RTF export to wv? , my converter tool project (partial success) and doc -> rtf lists yields assertion error? : Seth Delackner has begun work on a commandline accessible file converter, specifically .doc to .rtf. He finds that AbiWord's RTF utility is fully functional and that the wv library's version, wvRTF, is not. Dom explains that his Rich Text Format utility was a worked-out 2-hour hack that had limited functionality. Since there has been no positive incentive and there have been legal issues from one would-be thief (actually named theirs wvRTF to top that off), Dom has had very little interest in continuing to develop wv's actual el cheapo RTF addition. Later, Seth announces his success and offers his copy via email if you'd like to see a bad hack at work. When Seth mentions a couple of bugs, Dom points out that to make sure they're not on his version only, to check using a "clean tree," i.e. one directly from abisource. If they're actually Abi's, then do be a dear and file bug, but only then ;o)
-
AbiWord Weekly News #131 (2003, week 07) released : I got a wee bit jumpy last week, and when the crash on printing bugs disappeared (3269), I mis-reported that all Windows printing bugs were finished (3239). Those of you that ignored the numbers and went by the words (like me) weren't confused, for everyone else, there's Mastercard.
-
commit: Endnote mostly work now. : Martin prides himself in being able to announce that Endnotes functionality is almost complete, and that rtf import/export is up ahead. Vi's spell checking functionality, however, appears incomplete ;o)
-
Win32 STABLE build needed : Hub requests for someone to make Win32 builds of the STABLE CVS for testing purposes. Why? Because due to some event last week...oh what was it...crash on printing bugs are poofing left and right, and if the testing goes well, 1.0.5 may be out the door Real Soon Now™. You wannee? Jeremy has them available NOW!
-
commit: abi (STABLE): Bug 4583 Commit: bug 4583 : This happens from time to time, but when a maintainer makes the booboo, it's slightly more entertaining. Etsushi Kato has a fix for bug 4583 Frank gets to submitting it first (and even has time to credit the source. Hub pops in four minutes later to do the same, only to find out nothing was added. Don't you hate getting an "uptodate check failed" message?
/me plots against whomever it is that makes micro-edits to the AWN... -
win32 tlu/tdu stuff : The layout work committed last week Patrick and Dom is being moved towards the Windows platform by Tomas, though no commit has actually been added. Stay tuned, same AbiTime, same AbiLetter.
-
commit: abi: die, wrapper, die : So, that question Christian put forward last week is finally comes to fruition as Frank, how to put it politely, psychotically murdered the wrapper after much pre-meditation.
...REDRUM -
commit: abiword-plugins: better platform support : Frank believes there's a chance in Redmond that the build for gnome option of the plugins may work for 2.x. Unfortunately, most of us don't live in Redmond.
-
commit: Test code for abiwidget and bonobo control. , commit: code to enable AbiWord-2.0 --AbiControl , commit: AbiWidget Lives! , commit: A nicer test container for AbiWidget , [Fwd: Re: commit: Test code for abiwidget and bonobo control.] and commit: Make abiwidget more robust. : Martin is pleased to announce the return of the AbiControl functionality, AbiWidget. He's also curious as to how outside developers may feel about fully embedding AbiWidget within the main application, so, if you have some thoughts, you're welcome to share them with the list, see "[Fwd: Re: commit: Test code for abiwidget and bonobo control.] For those of you not familiar with AbiControl, it allows for the standard input/output method to be used with AbiWord; the feature allows calling AbiWord when there is no need for its own graphical system, thus allowing you to access AbiWord on either the commandline or from another application, such as these suggestions from Martin: " Evolution, Nautilus, Epiphany, Gnumeric, Merchant and any other gnome app that needs a word processor." For those of you not familiar with these applications, they are free software, specifically available for GNOME, hence references to bonobo, the attempt to make individual components available to other application within GNOME.
Traffic on the user mailing list is sporadic at best. Often, a good topic comes up, but users tend to only respond to the original poster rather than the list (as well), which limits what I would add, as the only lone threads I post are announcements of importance or points of great interest. This week, interesting topics on the user list included:
-
make rpm from abiword source : Reuben D. Budiardja would like to make a Red Hat 7.3 rpm of AbiWord. For information on that, I return you to Re: problem installing on Mandrake 9.0.
-
Plugins not automatically loaded : Reuben wants to know why his "load found plugins on startup" isn't working after a source install. Frank pins it down to the use of the --prefix argument being misused while installing the abiword-plugins-1.0.4 sources.
-
How do I search the mailing list? : Alan Rowan wants to search the mailing lists before asking any questions. Good Alan. All y'all could learn from Alan. Anyhow, the site's search system doesn't, apparently, function the regexp way it's supposed to, so, he wants something more precise than htdig (large list there, Alan).... Alan Horkan seems to live under the delusion that the archive has its own search engine. He also add something more useful, the google site search function. Thus, you may use [ site:abisource.com <your search here> ]. Also, if I recall correctly, you can search subdirectories of an individual site, such as abisource.com/mailinglists/ .
Development
CVS StatsTrack who put in how much and why. And, while you're at it, consider whether you'd like to keep your own cvs build as well. Tables...ooh....

Weekly Prize Patch
Dom, with the help of all those of you who donated to help keep AbiWord great, re-established the Weekly Prize Patch. Established at $45 pre-charges (read: the financial companies cut), the prize is awarded by the decision of Martin and Dom, both of whom must agree on the winner. Though neither Dom nor Martin may vote for themselves, they posses to "trumps" that allow them to vote for the other, therefore nullifying that other's vote. Most importantly, winning is entirely dependent on how lagered-up Martin and Dom are at the time in question.
No One
No one received the award between the sixteenth and twenty-third of February.
POWs
The concept of a "Project Of the Week" is to single out tasks of major interest that outside developers might be interested in providing assistance to. Until a "best way" of listing POWs come to mind, they shall be listed in a short description. Any user interested is welcome to assist in tackling these POWs. If you know someone who's interested, you can link directly to a POW, in order, they're pow5 (at the top) through pow1 (at the bottom). Reminder to developers, I can't post them if you don't submit them. Additionally, feel free to announce if one of these is finished (in case you don't mention it on the list or in the cvs). Oh, and in case you didn't notice, they're a great way to get money from Dom, really!
Name: 4465

AbiVersion: 1.0.4 only (for now at least)
Challenge level: *.... 1 star out of 5
Current Heros: "Some of the most active were Mikey Cooper, Tom Purl and Eric Blom."
Name: Style and/or Diction Plugins (bug 3281) (do either/or or both!)
Description: build a plugin to allow Abiword to check style and diction
Advertisement: me got no grammar fixer, help mes can't you?
Recommended Outline: Create a plugin for AbiWord that allows the checking of style and diction. The source code for the gnu style and diction tools is available here: http://www.gnu.org/software/diction/diction.html
As a prototype you might be able to hack something using the AbiCmd plugin to wrap the style and diction tools. The AikSaurus (Thesaurus) plugin should also be a helpful guide.
When you get the basics working you could try to get Abiword to display green squiggle underlines to mark errors, or otherwise work on a good user interface.
Comments: A great way to start playing with the AbiSource

Recommended Outline: You must become magical to know how to fix this.
Comments: "The problem is that printing on Windows is broken with several brand of printer drivers (see dependent bugs). It appears that with standard PostScript driver it does not happen. It appears also that version 0.9.6 had less problems than 1.0.1 so we might find out where the regression is bu diffing.
"Please, be sure to read all the bug reports. Even partial fix are accepted.
"Fixes must be done against STABLE tree and possibly ported to HEAD (the later can be done as a second step)."

Can you believe I said QA will return next week when it's been here (or not been here) for three weeks? Final reminder, owners are the squishers and qa are the flushers (in case there's some question).
One other note, and this will apply across the bug area when the idea of credit comes up,

What you see here are either invalid bug reports or duplicates. So, basically, I'm showing everyone else how doofy you are sometimes. On average*, confirming duplication or non-validity takes four minutes and thirty-five seconds. That's the equivalent of 8LLOC of time for Dom. Any other questions why development isn't as fast as you want?

Release HackDown
This is an AbiWord Weekly News original concept: The Release Hackdown. In the table below, you can watch what bugs are being fixed in preparation for the very next release. Check the key at the bottom to understand formatting.
No pressure, guys, I'm sure only 2000 or so people will be watching to see what you do weekly. That breaks down to about 285 people daily and 12 people hourly, so, it's like being peeked at once every five minutes, literally. "Isn't that veird!?"

Hub takes out 3645 Page setup has a problem with margins in millimeters. Dom learns that 4489's antecedent was really 2145, thus, I've prevented it from coming up anymore; you can continue to track the original accessibilities bug, 2145, without the replication in the old 4489. The link will take you to the standing FCC guidelines for software accessibility. I noticed that Andrew proved that 4425 has many warnings, and just as one isn't likely to make a bug for each, I'm not really going to track it (just watch for it being crossed out some day). Click on 4425 in the table to see the HUNDREDS of warnings.
See Announce: 2.0 release plan for more details on the intended route towards Abiword II: The Wrath of Dom.
